‘Little Oblivions Remixes EP ’

I love this album, probably top 5 this year, not sure what kind of remixes these will be, but intrigued

Jesu?  Gotta hear that.

The Killers just released ‘Pressure Machine’

wow learning so much today as I had to look up ‘Fuck All The Perfect People’ (Chip Taylor & The New Ukrainians)

Chip Taylor will be of course go down in history as the writer of "Wild Thing" amongst others and is the brother of Jon Voight!?!?

this was released in 2012

and other that the Cohen song which has been done numerous times, this is a really eclectic set of covers.. based on the two just released to streaming this will be a good record to listen to…

Fine.  I'll buy it now that it provides a way to play the cassette.

ARCADIA

(just a single…thought it might be a full album)

Could but fun… I assume this has his blessing

Elvis Costello’s Spanish Model,
a daring, first of its kind album taking original instrumental performances with newly recorded vocals by top Latin Pop and Rock artists singing Costello’s lyrics translated and adapted into Spanish. 16 songs produced by producer Sebastian Krys. Available September 10.

LDR
Blue Banisters
10/22
Blursday

I like the stuff Krys has done with Costello (best part of last album “Hey clock face”) but for this project my understanding is they just overlaid new vocals on the existing instrumental tracks…

I am curious to hear it in good time as it’s my favorite EC album and I am a big fan of some of the singers (particularly Fito Paez)

Regrettes
Monday
Friday, 9/24

i can't imagine how much chaos the regrettes will sow by naming an album after a day of the week, and then release it on a different day of the week. 

i think it's for the best if we all log off and wait until 9/25 (saturday) so this can blow over. see y'all on the flip.
